                                         Present an
                           Internatonal Ranger Training Course on
                   “Ant-poaching management and enforcement techniuuesi

                                       28 July to 3rd August 2019

     The aim of this training course, conducted by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA), is to
     share Israeli rangers’ extensive experience on this subject and through this internatonal
     cooperaton to provide fellow rangers with the tools, knowledge and skills required for efectve
     ant-poaching work.

     The work of rangers is becoming more complex and challenging the world over. This training
     program is part of the “Train the Trainers” concept. Rangers who take part in the program are
     expected to return to their organizaton and pass on the knowledge they have gained.

     The main goals of the program are to gain:
     1. Familiarity with threats against nature and protecton of Israel’s fora and fauna.
     2. Familiarity with various methods of oversight and enforcement in use in the INPA.
     3. Familiarity with the collecton of forensic evidence and the means of strengthening legal cases
           against ofenders.
     4. Familiarity with work methods of INPA rangers in the face of the various enforcement
           challenges.

     This will be achieved through a combinaton and variety of study methods:
     a. Discussions and lectures in the classroom.
     b. Exercises and hands-on experiences to apply the material learned.
     c. Peer-teaching – the transmission of informaton through personal experiences among members
            of the course.
     d. Field trips conducted by INPA rangers.

We now need to establish Expressions of Interest from those ERF colleagues who wish to atend this
    training course. An early response would be appreciated as places are limited to just 12, but we
    also need to establish that there will be enough delegates for the course to go ahead.
